Scary Bear Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 12 minutes ago, Ro Sham Bo said: Lang in for Musonda, Berra (if fit) in for Benedictus, Poplatnik in for Gullan. Hopefully Goodwillie is still unavailable so we can kick that particular can further down the road. McGlynn post match interview says Berra is unlikely to make the Celtic game, so he won’t be available. Can you see Goodwillie playing for us? Will the club decide ‘ah well, the damage is done, we’ve made the bed and now we’ll have to lay in it’ or will they get rid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Have you also decided to lump the fans into this equation?? Or would you rather we terminate our tenure as a club within the Scottish Football League??Not at all, the fans have been put in a dreadful position by the signing. You can't say that we should all just talk about the football, though, when it will just result in exactly what the club want: the situation to become a wee b-story to Raith's matches similar to when a player goes back to their old club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players need to brave this storm. Safety is more important than pushing for promotion, I think it’s way beyond us now.

I'm used to the fans of main team I support singing about nobody liking us and not caring about it, (not a view I share) but I never thought I'd hear the same in as many words from the board of my second favourite team. Does anyone have a handle on how much cash this disgraceful signing cost the club in lost sponsorship (so far)? After all, the amount of sponsorship, hospitality and other fundraising cash for this season and the next is CLEARLY relevant to the future success of the team. (Which is why the DG signing IS legitimately relevant to a "keep it to football" discussion.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baillieinleeds Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 I promise I’m not trying to deflect away from the problems we now face. David Goodwillie is not welcome at Raith Rovers Football Club. Those in charge must walk away NOW!! Mr Sim must now put the club up for sale. I feel sorry for the players that have families, mortgages and all sorts. Whilst having to train for the game on Saturday will wonder if they’ll be paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenockRover Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Anyone got any idea if the contract would have a 'cooling off period' of sorts? Usually exist in many employment contracts where either party can decide to rescind an offer made to an employee. Board need to seriously consider this as an option because the reputational damage to the business is potentially catastrophic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR have used their greater financial strength to enter into an agreement with another party to acquire the services of contracted employee, for an agreed but undisclosed sum. Goodwillie has a contract with RR and NO contact with any other club. The initial enquiry, I believe, was raised in December. The discussion then went quiet. That was the cooling off period. There was little doubt about how strong influencers around the club and regular fans felt. The time to cancel the order for fitted carpets is long before you feel the Axminster under your bathies. The problem is now exclusively Raith's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Employment law, commercial law and contract law are seperate entities and, to your undoubted relief, I haven't suggested he go back to Clyde FC should any part of the contract contain a clause where either party could anul the agreement. It's more common than you'd believe but may indeed be absent in this case and the whole sorry saga will hound our club for his entire contract period. Sad days indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty other platforms to discuss the rapist. It’s certainly not his fault the club has taken the action it has. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
